The Soviet Victory Day or May 9 marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in the Second World War. The Soviet government announced the victory early on May 9 after the signing ceremony in Berlin. Though the official inauguration happened in 1945, the holiday became a non-labour day only in 1965 and only in some of the countries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, only Baltic countries rejected May 9 from their annual celebrations. During the Soviet Union's existence, May 9 was celebrated throughout the USSR and in the countries of the Eastern Bloc.
